In Financial Year 2024-25, the Indian economy continued its strong growth trajectory, albeit at a moderated pace compared to the previous year. Despite global economic headwinds, the demand for credit remained robust, significantly benefiting the banking sector, especially Small Finance Banks ("SFBs"). Rising disposable incomes, coupled with increased urbanisation and financial awareness, further spurred demand for small business loans from SFBs. Additionally, the governments ongoing initiatives to promote financial inclusion, including targeted policies to support SFBs in rural and semi-urban areas, have contributed to their expansion and operational strength. As a result, SFBs have played a crucial role in fostering inclusive economic growth, strengthening their foothold in previously underserved markets.
For the financial year ending March 31, 2025, the Bank recorded solid growth across its financial performance metrics, demonstrating resilience amidst a dynamic economic environment. Key indicators such as total assets, deposits, and loans disbursed showed steady upward movement, signaling the Banks ability to adapt and thrive in evolving market conditions. This progress is a result of our focused strategy to balance expansion with risk mitigation, which has ensured the maintenance of a robust loan portfolio with a controlled level of nonperforming assets ("NPAs").
In line with this growth, the Bank achieved a consistent increase in net profit, driven by ongoing improvements in operational efficiency and targeted enhancements to our product and service offerings. These results reflect the strategic efforts to innovate and respond proactively to changing customer needs and market trends. Our teams dedication and agility in executing these strategies have been key to delivering these results, positioning us for continued growth and success in the years ahead.
Bank continues to expand its presence across regions, aiming to provide inclusive banking services to underserved communities, enabling it to serve a broader customer base and contribute to financial inclusion. The Bank acknowledges that its success is intricately linked to the satisfaction of customers. Therefore, it remains dedicated to understanding the evolving needs and expectations.
In managing the Banks liability profile, there is a continued commitment to strengthening existing relationships and maintaining robust levels of Current Account and Savings Account ("CASA") deposits. The Bank has consistently upheld strong CASA ratios, with a ratio of 36.94% as of March 31,2025, compared to 38.30% as of March 31,2024. These figures continue to reflect the Banks strong position in this key segment, well above industry averages. Despite the challenges posed by a rising interest environment, our dedication to cost management is apparent in the sustained favourable cost of funds. For the FY ended March 31,2025, it stood at 6.02%, while for the previous financial year ending March 31, 2024, it was 5.82%. Additionally, its retail deposits constitute a significant proportion, accounting for 92.52% as on March 31, 2025. Going forward, the Bank remains committed to further increasing its CASA and retail deposits to optimise its cost of funds.
On the asset front, the Bank continues to uphold a strong secured lending strategy, with secured loans making up ~99% of the overall portfolio-approximately ~80% of which is backed by immovable property and fixed deposits. This prudent approach, supported by rigorous credit evaluation and robust risk management practices, has contributed to further improvements in asset quality. As of March 31, 2025, the Banks Gross Non-Performing Assets ("GNPA") stood at 2.58%, down from 2.76% the previous year, while Net Non-Performing Assets ("NNPA") improved to 1.30% from 1.40%. This year-on-year enhancement reflects the Banks deep understanding of its borrower profile and its continued emphasis on credit discipline and portfolio quality.
The Bank recognises that interest rates are largely influenced by market dynamics, and our focus remains on actively managing our interest margin through disciplined pricing strategies. Over various interest rate cycles, we have consistently maintained a stable spread in the range of 5.3% to 5.6%, reflecting the resilience of our business model. On the liabilities side, deposits account for approximately 80%-85% of our funding base, including a strong CASA contribution of 37%. On the asset side, 45%- 50% of the loan portfolio is linked to floating interest rates, with nearly 75% of that benchmarked to the Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate ("MCLR"), ensuring timely transmission of rate movements.
Furthermore, the Banks loan portfolio diversification is noteworthy, with advances in agriculture, MSME, Trading & Other Business Loans, and mortgages segments amounting to Rs.2,334.60 crores, Rs.1,511.59 crores, and Rs.1,923.31 crores, respectively, as of March 31, 2025. In the previous year, as of March 31, 2024, these segments accounted for Rs.2,293.12 crores, Rs.1,181.58 crores and Rs.1,624.03 crores respectively. The average ticket size for these segments as of March 31, 2025, stood at Rs.1.26 mn, Rs.2.19 mn and Rs.1.28 mn respectively.
In order to gain a foothold in new markets where the branch network is not yet established, the Bank is actively seeking partnerships to expand geographical presence and better understand these markets. By forging strategic alliances, it aims to mitigate associated risks while diversifying the range of products and services. Such collaborations will not only enhance the offerings but also contribute to the overall growth of Capital Small Finance Bank Limited.
The Bank has consistently delivered strong growth in both profitability and operational performance, reflecting its steadfast commitment to excellence. Over recent years, operating profit before provisions has experienced an exceptional compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of approximately 33%, increasing from Rs.34.28 crores in FYRs.19 to Rs.187.07 crores in FYRs.25. Profit before Tax ("PBT") has also seen significant growth, rising from Rs.26.92 crores in FYRs.19 to Rs.175.13 crores in FYRs.25. Similarly, Profit after Tax ("PAT") surged from Rs.19.42 crores in FYRs.19 to Rs.131.65 crores in FYRs.25. These impressive results underscore the Banks strong financial position and operational efficiency, backed by its experienced leadership and a dedicated group of shareholders committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance.
Moving forward, the focus remains on strengthening of operational and profitability metrics through several key strategies. Firstly, the aim is to optimise asset-liability mix in favour of asset creation while increasing the credit to deposit ratio. Secondly, it continues to emphasise on cost optimisation and efficiency improvement. Lastly, it intends to enhance its fee income and leverage cross-selling opportunities to further diversify our revenue streams.
Cost optimisation remains a central focus for the Bank, and we take pride in our enhanced operational efficiency, reflected in the significant improvement in the operating expense (opex) ratio as a percentage of average assets. This ratio has reduced to 3.17% in FY25, down from 3.50% in FY19, highlighting our successful cost management strategies. Additionally, the cost-to-income ratio continues to show positive momentum, reaching approximately 62.30% in FY25, building on the improvements from 70.75% in FY21.
The Board is confident that the continued focus on maintaining strong liabilities and assets positions will contribute to the sustained growth and success of Bank.
The below table shows improving profitability ratios as a result of margin expansion and improved efficiencies:
Based on the robust financial performance and profitability of the Bank, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 29, 2025 has recommended a Final Dividend of Rs.4 per equity share (face value of Rs.10 each) for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 resulting in a total dividend payout of 13.75% against earnings of FY 2025, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the ensuing 26th Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Bank. This dividend payout demonstrates the Banks commitment to delivering value to its esteemed shareholders. The Board believes in sharing the success of the institution with those who have placed their trust and invested in Capital Small Finance Bank Limited. The Board remains dedicated to maintaining a healthy dividend payout ratio while carefully considering the need for reinvestment in the Banks growth initiatives. The support and confidence of shareholders are greatly appreciated, and the Board is pleased to reward their trust through this dividend declaration.
Further, the dividend is not paid from Reserves. In terms of the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the dividend income is taxable in the hands of the shareholders and the dividend will be paid to the shareholders by the Bank after deduction of tax at source (TDS) at the applicable rates.

Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR)
The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) plays a vital role in maintaining the stability and soundness of banks. It is a regulatory requirement that ensures banks have sufficient capital to absorb potential losses and meet their obligations to depositors and creditors. By maintaining an adequate capital buffer, banks can mitigate the risk of insolvency and contribute to the overall resilience of the financial system.
Your Bank formulated a comprehensive capital adequacy plan that considers both systematic and idiosyncratic risks. Systematic risks are those that affect the entire banking industry, such as changes in interest rates, macroeconomic volatility, sectoral disruptions, economic conditions etc. are monitored and factored into capital planning. Idiosyncratic risks are those that are specific to the bank, including credit, market, and operational risks such as problems with its lending or investment activities are monitored and assessed. To ensure regulatory compliance and business continuity, the Bank maintains a prudent capital buffer over and above the minimum regulatory requirements. This buffer not only acts as a cushion during periods of financial stress but also enables the Bank to pursue its growth objectives in a sustainable manner and manage and mitigate risk in a better way. Your Bank has consistently maintained a strong and resilient Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), underscoring its robust capital position and strict adherence to regulatory norms. As of March 31,2025, the Banks CAR stood at 25.39%, significantly exceeding the minimum regulatory requirement of 15%. This substantial buffer reflects the Banks prudent capital management practices and its unwavering commitment to financial stability.
A sound capital base not only underpins the Banks day-to-day operations but also empowers it to pursue strategic growth initiatives while withstanding potential economic or sectoral shocks. Your Bank remains firmly focused on maintaining adequate capital buffers to absorb unforeseen losses, support future expansion, and instill continued confidence among regulators, investors, and other stakeholders.
Looking ahead, the Bank will continue to proactively manage its capital position, aligning with evolving regulatory expectations and emerging market opportunities in a dynamic and competitive financial environment.

Asset-Liability and Risk Managemen pursuant to Section 134(3)(n) o
Companies Act, 2013
The Bank has established a comprehensive and robust Risk Management Framework designed to identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate risks across its operations. Whilst the Board is responsible for framing, implementing and monitoring the said risk management framework, it has delegated its powers relating to monitoring and reviewing of risk associated with the business of the Bank to the Risk Management Committee. Bank follows an integrated approach to managing risks and the processes are embedded in the fundamental business model. The Risk Management Landscape in the Bank covers the stages of identifying, assessing, measuring, managing, controlling and reporting risk concerns across all the risk classes viz. Credit, Market and Operational Risks and Liquidity Risk. The Risk Management Policies adopted and reviewed periodically articulate, codify the strategy, structure, processes and systems to manage bank wide risks. Expanding business arenas, deregulation and globalisation of financial activities, emergence of new financial products and increased level of competition has necessitated the need for an effective and structured risk management practice in financial institutions. The Bank has adopted an integrated approach for the management of risk. Effective internal policies are developed in tune with the business requirements and best practices. Capital Bank has formulated Risk Management Policy which also includes Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Policy ("ICAAP") for identifying and measuring various operational, credit, market and solvency risks. Operational risks are managed through comprehensive systems of internal control, establishing systems and procedures to monitor transactions, maintaining key back-up procedures and undertaking regular contingency planning. We constantly strive to enhance the risk management capabilities in accordance with the emerging regulatory guidelines and the broad risk management principles. The Bank reviews the risk management system and the progress made in implementing the RBI guidelines on risk management, on a quarterly basis. The Asset Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), consisting of the Banks senior management and the Managing Director, is responsible for ensuring adherence to the limits set by the Board as well as for deciding the business strategy of the Bank (on the assets and liabilities sides) in line with the Banks budget and decided risk management objectives. The Committee actively manages and controls the structure of assets and liabilities and interest rate sensitivities with a view of optimising profits besides maintaining capital adequacy and sufficient liquidity. Statements for Structured Liquidity, Liquidity Coverage and Interest Rate Sensitivity of the bank is being prepared in line with the RBI guidelines to actively manage the liquidity and interest rate risks.
Liquidity Risk Management has been at the core of sound risk management practices of banking industry in the modern age. The Liquidity risk is the potential inability to meet the Banks liabilities as they become due. It arises when the Banks are unable to generate cash to cope with a decline in deposits or increase in assets.
The Bank gives utmost importance to manage various risks in most efficient way and has articulated comprehensive structure for liquidity risk management through various policies including Contingency Funding Plan ("CFP") which aims to address the adverse liquidity scenarios. It is recommended by ALCO to Risk Management Committee of Board ("RMCB") on annual basis for approval and is reviewed quarterly by the ALCO. In case, any review by the ALCO results in the funding gap, ALCO will be responsible to establish an action plan on the same which shall be approved by the RMCB. Further the decision to use the lines of defence as per the CFP lies with the ALCO. The contingency is defined in various scenarios. The comprehensive CFP endeavours to monitor liquidity on real time basis, with a wide and unrelated range of lines of defence, along with proper channel of reporting, escalation and decision making.
The Bank has constituted a Risk Management Committee. The details of the said committee and its terms of reference are set out in the report on corporate governance, which forms part of this annual report.
Further, the Bank has formulated Stress Testing Framework for evaluation of Banks financial position under a severe but plausible scenario to assist in decision making within the Bank. It enables the Bank in forward looking assessment of risks. It facilitates internal and external communication and helps senior management understand the condition of the Bank in the stressed situations. Stress testing outputs are extremely useful in decision making process in terms of potential actions like risk mitigation techniques, contingency plans, capital and liquidity management in stressed conditions.
Stress testing forms an integral input of the internal capital adequacy assessment process, which requires the Bank to undertake forward-looking stress testing that identifies severe events or changes in market conditions that could adversely impact the Bank. The stress testing reports provide the senior management with a thorough understanding of the material risks to which the Bank may be exposed and to help in potential actions like mitigation techniques, contingency plans, capital and liquidity management in stressed conditions etc. Further, stress testing is an important input in identifying, measuring and controlling funding liquidity risks, in particular for assessing the Banks liquidity profile and the adequacy of liquidity buffers in case of both bank-specific and market-wide stress events.
The Bank has a strong impetus on risk management and it realised that risk management is backbone of banking industry and being an evolving topic, the bank attempts to keep evolving various newer avenues to manage risk effectively and efficiently as per the risk management policy and framework of the bank so that the whole structure is well aligned with the risk appetite, risk assessment and risk mitigation strategy of the Bank. The risk management committee monitor and review the risk management plan and to perform functions as defined under the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI Listing Regulations.
